127 Forestburgh Rd, Forestburgh, NY 12777

History and Romance in Forestburgh. Originally a stagecoach stop and bar,perhaps a brothel(?)..one local suggested it was part of the Civil War slave escape route. A "secret room" remains tucked behind an upstairs bedroom. Owners think the house dates back to 1780 based on old stone oven unearthed during renovations. Farmhouse with Greek Revival influence is just lovely. Rocking chair porch and deck overlook small pond and 11.75 acres of fields and forest. Living room and granite appointed cook's kitchen are centered around 2 Jotul wdstoves and stone hearth. Parlor with original glass doors, 3 brs, 2 full baths, a very cool loft office with exposed stonework and lots of light. Wide wd flrs, woodwork and old brick. Great walkout basement. Thoughtfully renovated. Located perfectly near summer playhouse, Mongaup Reservoir, state land. We welcome you!
